Ingredients

  • 2 lbs pork shoulder (boneless, trimmed of excess fat)
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 4 cups canned baked beans
  • 0.5 cups ketchup
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing your ingredients. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

In the bowl of your slow cooker, combine the canned baked beans, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well to evenly mix the sauce ingredients.

Step 5

Pour the sautéed onion and garlic into the slow cooker, and then add the water. Stir to incorporate.

Step 6

Place the seared pork shoulder into the slow cooker, nestling it into the bean mixture so that it is mostly covered by the sauce.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Stir occasionally if possible, to ensure even cooking and distribution of flavors.

Step 8

When the pork is tender and easily falls apart, remove it from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.

Step 9

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker and mix it into the beans and sauce. Allow the dish to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on low to fully incorporate the flavors.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with cornbread, rice, or a simple green salad.
